Ok thanks,, I’ll check Rhode Island Wiring, And I saw a place in Alabama also,, yeah if it’s too expensive I’ll make one ,, there is not much too a LJ ,, I already put a 1 wire alternator and a 12v starter, that cut it in half already, thanks

Matt did you get a new wiring harness for your truck? I wasn’t sure if anyone has one for a LJ , thanks

Thank You! I can’t wait to get it all done and hear the Jake with the Backdrop Manifold !

The Jake project is done! Started engine , powered them up , all working. Back to Body work on the Cab

Matt , That Truck is Absolutely Beautiful! Thanks again for your help on my Cab ,, it’s coming along pretty good, I got sidetracked when I found a set of Model 20 Jakes for the 220 , I have been messing around with that Detour for a couple of weeks.

Cab is coming along pretty good,,, I got sidetracked when I found a Set of Model 20 Jakes for it , that should make the Backdrop sound off

Thank You!

Hey Matt, I have been keeping up with your truck, It is going to be beautiful! It’s been so busy this summer I haven’t touched the LJ until today, I got the frame and running gear all done, I got the cab in the shop, have you still got the extra panels we talked about? Seeing yours has got me motivated! Thanks Dean

This one was Green , It was bought new in Winston Salem , It was originally ordered with a factory Turbo ( Which it still has & and a Pyrometer in the dash) with a Dead axle on the rear, The second owner Pulled a lowboy here in Buncombe co from the early 70’s till around 1988 , ( mostly a 175 IH Loader ) it sat till I got it in 1996 , the dead axle was worn out so I removed it, I painted it Red and pulled Antique tractors with a lowboy for a while before I made a rollback out of it ,, I believe I do remember a Blue one pulling a lowboy around Buncombe co in the 80’s and 90’s maybe towards the Northern part of the county , I’ll ask around about it , Thanks

Great Job your doing on the H Model,, It’s good to see someone restoring one , you really don’t see that many ! I have had a H67 for years, it was bought new here in North Carolina, then some friends of mine got it in the 70s to pull a lowboy, I got it and painted it and did a “ Half “ Restoration, I stretched it and made a rollback, I still use it , if there’s something I can help you with , let me know, ( It looks like you know more about a H then me , Great Work) ! I know a guy that has 2 that needs restoring, not sure what his plans are .

Great looking Truck! What’s the story of the tank ? Very interesting!

Looking Great! It’s going to ALL be worth it the first time you ease up off the clutch, and it starts to move!

Matt , That Cab looks SO GOOD! I haven’t had time to work on mine for a few weeks, still installing some of the old copper air lines on my chassis,, I can’t wait to see your cab on the frame!
